I think that the quote is racist. Although Pap may not know better, afterall he is just a stupid drunk, it's still racist. I can relate to this qoute because i have heard people make racist comments before such as "Kramer" in a comedy club, who called out an african american based on his race and used many racial slurs on him. I deffinately don't agree with this quote.

Paragraph 3 (Literary Analysis): Type 3-8 sentences about what Mark Twain thinks about the quote and its theme. Relate it to Twain's life in some way.

Mark Twain thinks that the quote is what many people used to think in the older ages when they were racist, and uninformed. He probably feels comfortable with the post because he is used to hearing it in all the places he has been. He knows that the quote is not right because it is racist, but it is in the book for informational purposes.
